Conference bulova::decw_jan-89_to_nov-90

  I wrote a logo program that went searching for the prompter box and when
found...just moved it to where I wanted it.

  You could probably do the same thing.

    You can also start a window manager from the SYSTEM account and just
    drag the login box where you need it.  It will not come back that
    on the next login though.
    
    $ set display/create/node=0/trans=local
    $ run sys$system:decw$winmgr

    ufp::sys$public:logo.c and logo.bit. You'll want to use your own
    bitmap, I suspect.. this program finds the login box and moves it to
    the bottom of the screen. Hack, as mentioned earlier - but it works.

	I tried your LOGO program and now it works well.

	I modified the program as follows, because the XFetchName routine
	returns no name on VMS V5.3-1 (Japanese-version).
	I suspect that the name of the login dialog box changed before.

If you run this program, will it display the pixmap you create and move down
the login dialog box ? I had defined the symbol DECW$LOGINLOGO pointin to a
command file containing as its only statement a run of the logo program.
All I get is that now I no longer have the digital logo, the login box stays as
it was. I also had a process called LOGO wich was running the image.
What am I doing wrong ? I am running DW V3 IFT under VMS V5.4. 

  What does your com file look like ?

  Are you doing a SET DISPLY/CREATE inside the com file ?

  Are you authorized access to the server ?

  And as a side issue, is DECW$LOGINLOGO new for VMS 5.4 ?  I've always used
DECW$LOGIN_BACKGROUND.

The com file contains one line : $ RUN LOGO.EXE with no display set.
How do I find out if the logo process is authorized access to the server ?

DECW$LOGINLOGO is new with DW V3 (IFT).

What more should I look for ? What info would you like ?

I tried it with a SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=0 command before the run. Still no luck.
I also created a log file and no errors in the log file !

  You probably need the file

	SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT

  to be created.

  I haven't yet played with V3.0...can someone tell me if this file
mechanism still works to grant access to the server when no one is logged
in.

  This file contains ASCII text designating the transport, node, and username
list that will have access to the server.

  ...and you do need the SET DISPLAY/CREATE in your com file.

It's still there.
